A few light showers are over Northwest Alabama this afternoon.
They are over parts of Marion, Walker, Winston, Lawrence, Morgan, Limestone and Madison Counties.
The best radar echoes are over Marion County from just east of Hamitlon to near Jasper. There were some decent returns coming from the Winston/Lawrence County line north of Addison and along I-65 near Hartselle.
There were some small light showers over northern Tuscaloosa County that might drop a few srpinkles in the Birmingham area within the next hour.
Some showers were also over Southwest Alabama.
The activity is moving quickly to the east.
It is associated with a shortwave trough passing over Alabama.
The Hamilton ABC3340 Skycam site picked up 0.02 inches of rain. Not much, but it does show some of it is reaching the ground.
Temperatures in the northwestern part of the state and Tennessee Valley were around 50. In the I-20/59 Corridor, they ranged between 55 and 60.
Tomorrow, we will be under a short wave ridge and should see highs well into the 60s in most locations with partly cloudy skies, after a little morning cloudiness.
Monday looks like 70s. Then we deal with thunderstorms Tuesday. Jury is out on how strong those storms could be. Some of the model date is impressive, but I still think it will be a minor event.
Then things could get a little interesting in the wintry weather department next weekend. Scroll down to read Tim Coleman’s excellent analysis of that situation.
